ASSC Ballot Asks Abolition of Runoffs

Subject
Vick of
Controversy
A petition for th# retainment of Gfeorg* Viek. assistant professor of philosophy. swait* students' signatures »t th# TYR campaign table in front of th# Student Union.
“The movement is not sponsored by *ny student politics 1 group. It was motivated by students and ex-students of Vick.*’ Linda Dulgarian TYR president, said.
Ths point of controversy is that Vick's contract will soon expire, and presently a new contract has not been offered to Vick.
The stated purpose of the petition 5*: “If th# quality of a university is determined in part by the intellectually stimulating effect its faculty hav# upon its students, then Mr. Viek certainly enhanced the quality of our university immeasurably in that respect Consequently, we strongly protest any action that would threaten his future at the university.”
Th# petition continues. “Although Mr. Vick holds no doctoral degree as yet. w# recognize him as one of the moat outstanding teachers we have encountered. We believe that his departure would be * serious and unfortunate loss, not only for the School of Philosophy, but the university as s whole, and therefore we ap--p*al to you. We ask Mr. Vick bp allowed to continue as one o' the most liked and respected instructors at USC.
the ballot in this year's ASSC elections.
The amendment will read: “In the event that one candidate receives 40 per cent or more of the votes (exclud1 ing void ballots )and no other candidate receives 25 per cent or more of the votes, then the candidate receiv-ine the 40 per cent or more of the votes will be declared the winner.'!
The amendment was proposed by Elections Commissioner Laurie Scott after conducting an extensive study of election results since 1950 with Student Activities Director Clive Grafton.
“We found that the candidate who has gotten about 40 per cent of the vote in the primary ultimately won in the runoff anyway," Scott said. "Since 1950 there have beer, very few exceptions."
The purpose of eliminating runoffs is primarily to cut the time and expense of campaigning for the student. he said.
If the amendment passes, it will go into effect in September and will not affect this year's results.
Also approved by the Executive Council is a procedure for election pre-registration.
Registration will be conducted during a two-week period beginning Feb. 27 to facilitate faster voting on election day.
In the past the lines at the polls have been considerably slowed down while election workers have checked the eligibility of each voter.
B\r registering students over a two-week period. Scott feels the voting: lines will move much more quickly-
A special line will be set up at the polls for those students who forgot to register or who were not taken up enough with election fever a month before elections to register.
Petitions will be available March 13 and campaigning will start just after spring recess, on March 27.
Elections will be held April 3 and 4, with runoffs set for April 7.

Sigma Phi Delta, engineering fraternity, will sponsor an open house tonight at 7:30 p.m,. for all engineering students.
The event which will be held at the fraternity house, located at 817 M 30th St.. is to acquaint engineering students with new industrial innovations and to give them a chance to meet each other.
Included in the program will he a film from -North American Aviation. Inc.. explaining the operation of inertial guidance systems.

Chemistry labs in the religion department? It w'ould appear sa if you happened to run into Ann Bennett running around the Religion Department in a white lab coat with a bottle of hydrochloric acid in hand for the past few weeks.
Actually, she has been cleaning and reconstructing items brought back from the USC excavation of Hebron, a city in Judean Hills, 20 miles south of Jerusalem.
Currently on display in the Quinn Gallery are material remains from the USC summer excavation of Hebron. All items were excavated in 1964. and 1965. The 1966 objects have not yet arrived.
The American Expedition to Hebron is an archaeological program directed by Dr. Philip C. Hammond of Brandeis University and its purpose is to excavate the ancient city of Hebron.
For the past three summers. Dr. Gerald A. Larue, professor of biblical history and archaeology in the School of Religion, has directed the USC program.
Eleven USC students went on the expedition last summer, three were female and a variety of majors were represented. The expedition lasted eight weeks.
According to Dr. Larue the work day began at 3:45 a.m. and ended a& late as 11:00 p.m. One day a week was free from work. At that time the group took expeditions to visit other historical sights. Each of the college men were area supervisors with 10 to 15 Arabs under them who did the actual excavating.
By piecing together the artifacts from the dig areas of the past three
summers, students are able to confirm the written biblical record of the city of Hebron.
Among the accomplishments of the past Hebron Expeditions are: discovery of evidence from tombs in cave dwellings revealing occupation during the Middle Bronze period; a 25 foot massive wall and a defense tower wrere uncovered: iron-age dwellings (6th to 10th centuries B.C.) w'ere uncovered on the southern slope and on the top of the mound.
Other discovers include a kiln from the Hellenistic period and a large Arab dwelling. The remains of a Byzantine Christian settlement and a Christian cemetery were found beneath the Arab levels.
From 35 to 72 baskets filled with artifacts were excavated each day. Area supervisors wrere in charge of a square layer approximately 15 feet in diameter. Each successive layer wras removed and artifacts found from each layer were labeled.
All findings were cleaned, set in sun to dry and then sorted and labeled according to archaeological periods.
In addition t-o the Hebron collection. several other displays of artifacts are being shown. The Nabatean Exhibit consisting of shreds gathered by Dr. Larue and his students from the Katute dump at Petra is among the other displays.
The USC Lamp collection includes lamps from the Chalcolithie through the Byzantine periods. The entire collection has been classified and stu--died by Adrienne Wing.
By STAN METZLER Assistant to the Editor
We have enough atomic bomba to destroy our civilization, five professors agreed yesterday afternoon.
But man w’ould still pop up his head here and there and the species would continue.
And. they argued, our cities harbor the threat of turning into cancerous and parisital growths on mankind’s thigh.
But technology has come through with the answers before and probably will again.
The real question then, they decided at the Great Issues Forum “Man Versus His Environment" presentation. is not whether man will survive, but how he will react to the changes around him.
These changes, brought about by his science and enacted through his technology, threaten if not to literally destroy him, at least to drastically alter life as he now comprehends it.
The answer to the question. Dr. Arthur Atkisson. director of the Urban Ecology Institute, explained, “is that man has the ability to survive, if you’re a pessimist; and that he can continue to lead a good life, if you're an optimist.”
As School of Medicine Dean Roger Egeberg put it:
“Science has given us newr boons for living and newf devices for our dying. It wrouId be unwise and impractical to seek to slow’ this progress down.
“But you as- youth must fight, as scientists and as humanitarians, to instill a powerful and controlling humanistic surge equal to the force of science.
“This is necessary to bring about a more thoughtful, more beautiful; less crowded, frantic and bitter living."
The answer as Dr. Melville Branch, professor of city and regional plan-

ning. saw it. is to find “a new breed of men."
The leaders of the impending future must care about their existenrp as a whole, he said. They must not only be aware of. but be vitally concerned with the state of the lives "Our generation has not solved these problems." Dr. Leslie Chambers, chairman of the institute and pane! director. 3aid
“But your generation had damn well better."
Dr. Alfred Ingersoll, dean of tlv School of Engineering, had begun the discussion with a look at “the three ways we are killing ourselves — the pollution of our air and water, the restriction of our mobility and the assault on our aesthetic sense."
There are answers for the first problem, he noted, “if we are willing to pay the price;” the transportation mess can be overcome “if we will give up our cultural heritage;'' and beauty can be maintained “at relatively small costs.”
“I’m an engineer." he noted. “Give us the clear objective and needs, and we'll get the job done.”
COEDS SOUGHT FOR CONTEST
The Daily Trojan is still seek* ing contestants for its contest to select I SC's best-dressed coed for entry in Glamour Magazine's national competition.

STUDENTS HAVE RIGHTS?
Faculty Power—It's A Reality
Some people call faculty members’ claims for participation in a university's decision-making process a right, un academic official said here yesterday.
But I call it a reality.
“And students hav# lh# same right, and reality, to help formulate policy at the faculty, but to a lesser degree.” William Fidler. general secretary of the American Association of University Professors, told his Faculty Center audience.
“The faculty are not employees, but officers of the institution.” he explained.
“Students come here to sit before the teachers. The faculty is the university; the university is the faculty. The institution is the framework that allows our contributions to knowledge.”
The access to the sources of power, Didler indicated, should come through consultation and persuasion, “rather ^han through the development of an
adverse relationship between ths faculty and administration.”
But if the faculty of any institution continues to be treated on an industrial basis, he indicated, they will in turn be forged to respond to force, or collective bargaining, as a means of achieving their aims.
Th,j most prominent case so far of a faculty's collective bargaining. Fidler noted, was at St. John's University, a private New York Catholic school, w-here the faculty struck for higher pay last year.
Although the first instance was at a private institution. Fidler said he believes the most common occurances in this area will occur at tax-supported schools.
Fidler also cautioned the faculty not to panic at the thought of increasing student involvement in a university's policy-making decisions.
“I for one feel it will be necessary to accede in one way or another to
some of the students’ demands,” he said.
“We certainly don't want the student to take complete control of the universities as they have in some South and Central American nations.> but their voices should be heard.”
Looking into the future, Fidler said that the predicted increase in the use of education television should be accompanied by the faculty’s responsibility to see that educational standards are upheld.
This responsibility should apply especial’y to out-of-date tapes, he explained. as faculty take authority for revising them in the same way as they now control revisions of their text books.
Fidler also called for increased faculty-board of trustees relations, greater faculty authority in budget decision-making, and a larger voice in formulating student - admission policies.
